The BJP and Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party have ignored protests by local leaders of both parties to announce an alliance for the national and state elections in Andhra Pradesh.

"The TDP will be a part of the NDA now... Chandrababu Naidu will be the co-architect with Narendra Modi in creating a corruption and Congress-free India," said Naresh Gujral of the Akali Dal, another partner of the BJP in the National Democratic Alliance or NDA.

The partnership with Mr Naidu, 63, could propel the Modi-led BJP closer to the 272 seats it needs to form the next national government. Mr Naidu hopes the partnership will give him another shot at being Chief Minister, this time of the down-sized Andhra Pradesh, once the new state of Telangana is carved out of it on June 2.
